TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

.Be it known that I, DAVID IS. MLILLER, of West Alexandria, in Preble county, in the State ofsOhio,'have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churn-Dashers; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a. full and exact description thereoi, reference` being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. v

. Figure 1 is a. perspective viewA of my invention. l

Figure 2 represents a. side view of the dasher and handle, the former being reversed.

Figure 3 represents the handlgand delector-board, with the devicess for fastening the handleto the other parts. i

I construct my dasher by fastening the four perforated wings a (which stand at an angle of about forty-live degrees tohorizontal lined to the main frame, which`c nsists-ot` the twovpieces, b c, connected at the centre by the frame-p iece d. The central piece at is, provided with a m'or'tise, in'which the angular tenon e may be inserted and secured by the wedgef. The mortise into which the handle isinscrted passes obliquely through piece d, and the tenon e is formed with its lower endbroader than-it is madeat the shoulder, so: that the wedge f and I tenon e fill the mortise,` and retain the parts securely together.

The deleetorlboard g is of the width of the mortise in the handle 7L, and has a.' square recess formed in one edge, asrepresented in the drawings. The key z' is inserted in the mortise in the han'dle, to retain 'the deflector in placeA From the foregoing description it will be seen that the dasher is reversible upon its'handle. To connect theparts, the handle L will be properly Vinserted in the mortise in framepiece d of the dasher, and the wedgef will be also inserted; then the delectorboard g will be placed in .themortise in the handle t, and thrust down upon the piece (l, with its recess astride the wcdgef, as seen in'figs. 1 and 3; and finally, the key -z' is forced into the mortise in handle h, abovedeileetor-'board g, by 'which means the structure is retained in place, ready for use. i i

When the dasher is used as arranged or adjusted in iig. 1, the churning is'produced by the downward stroke -with much less potter,- and the butter will be readily gathered against the deilecting-board g; but when the dasher is reversed, as shown in fig. 2, a less period oi' time is required "toflcvli-u1'i1 the butter, as the work is performed by both the upward anddownward stroke of the dasher- The action of the dasher upon the cream, when adjusted as represented in iig. 1,'will be to force the currents through Athe spaces between the wings'a, v(which convergc'towards the deilector,) and as the currents of cream strike the defiector they are broken, and thrown outwardly towards the sides of the churn, and thus the work is quickly accomplished in a perfect manne'r.

Having fully described my invention, what. I claim,` and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is`

The reversible dasher, a b c d, in combination with the deiector-board g, when the parts are constructed, arranged, and operate in .the manner and for the purpose described. g

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set 'my hand, this 10th day of March, A. H1868.
